I think most people hang up on robo calls.

I know I do and it doesn't matter who's calling either.

1. I hang up on Democratic robo calls as well...

I'm in NJ so soon enough the "Hi. This is Governer Jon Corzine...." calls will be coming. And I will be promptly hanging up on them.

Yeah, yeah....vote democratic. I know. Done and done. Now let me eat my dinner in peace.

2. I hang up on ALL robo calls...

We get them at work too.

3. As soon as I see a number I don't recognize, I google it instantly

If it's important enough, they'll leave a message and I'll get back to them. Otherwise it goes unanswered.

4. Me too, except for this one from "Happy Dude"

I sent him a buck.

5. I don't even answer the phone unless I recognize the number. nt

6. what would happen if you just

put the phone down and left it there? Does the robo call automatically disconnect at the end of the call or does the receiving party have to hang up too?

I'd be inclined to do something that would slow them down if I could.

7. My answering machine does the hanging-up for me.

I often hear a click at the beginning, and then, just about 3 seconds later, another click.

8. I agree- only lonely old folks stay on the line for that stuff.

No offense meant to any lonley old folks out there.
